James Arlen Anonymously Sends Death Threats?
May 2nd
Noted fat and newly unemployed information security specialist James Arlen, AKA Mycurial might be behind a recent death threat against the owner of this blog site. In an anonymous twitter account called @deadbelcher, someone proclaims that the owner of belch.com should be murdered along with his family.
don’t worry about Patrick Belcher, we’re cooking a few things up for him and his family… he won’t be happy for too much loner #freebyron

Is this retribution for the recent tweets by Dr. Jones mocking James Arlen for becoming unemployed and having trouble getting a new job, now that he is associated with anarcho-terrorist G20 bomber Byron Sonne?
Happy #MayDay @Myrcurial.Hope you can find a job in your weight class!Dont #freebyron
— Dr. Jones (@BelchSpeak) May 1, 2012
Any infosec jobs for terrorist suspect sympathiser @myrcurial?He loves mad G20 bombers, #Occupy, and hates corporations.
— Dr. Jones (@BelchSpeak) May 1, 2012
Here is when James Arlen complains about the loss of a job and begs twitter to help him find another:
Any Canadian infosec jobs available? Who has two thumbs and needs one? This guy. (points at self)

Odd that the @deadbelcher account appeared just after I pointed out Arlen’s support of Byron Sonne, and his support of Occupy Wallstreet, and his disdain for corporations. Coincidence?
Also, Arlen may have been behind a lame attempt to blow a dog whistle to attract Anonymous attackers against Belcher as well on the Full Disclosure infosec list:
The email account is faked, and the post was an obvious attempt to “Joe Job” Belcher as someone who was working against the Anonymous organization. As noted previously, Arlen has threatened Belcher with lolsuits and complaints against his certification in an attempt to silence him against speaking out online against Byron Sonne’s documented attempts to cook explosives in his basement during the run-up to the G20 in Toronto. When these tactics were pointed out on this blog previously, Arlen may have well shifted to an anonymous campaign in an attempt to silence Belcher on these issues.
Making death threats against people online is a crime, and Arlen seems to be willing to participate in this. Is it any wonder that he finds difficulty in finding employment?
I do want to point out that Madison Kelley, a friend and supporter of Byron Sonne, was so shocked by the death threat that she urged legal action against the @deadbelcher account:
It’s a sad sign that someone could be so desperate for attention. Please report @deadbelcher to twitter, let them sort it out. #FreeByron
— Digimer (@digimer) May 3, 2012
@deadbelcher is most likely an alt for @BelchSpeak. I can assure you no one behind #FreeByron feels any need to attack such a fellow as he.
— Digimer (@digimer) May 3, 2012
I thank Madison for her support of free speech, however, if this was indeed James Arlen, her tweet rings hollow as Arlen’s profile picture on his twitter account shows him proudly wearing a FreeByron Tshirt. So no one in the FreeByron movement is behind this? Sorry, but sadly, someone certainly is.
UPDATE: Arlen issues denial:
For the record. I am not unemployed. I have not uttered death threats and I have not posted to full-disclosure in more than 8 years.
— James Arlen (@myrcurial) May 3, 2012
And again uses threats of libel-
While Belcher’s comments are libellous and childish, I wouldn’t give the boy a second thought and I hope no one does.

More LOLsuits Threatened
Mar 14th
As the trial of Byron Sonne looms large, his most ardent supporters, who have put their reputations on the line that he will be found innocent, must be biting their nails. Its not everyone who can count among their friends a man who, in a fit of anarchistic fury, convinced the cops that he was plotting to blow up the G20 in Toronto.
One of these supporters, James Arlen, a liberal frequent guest speaker at hacker conventions, despises me because of my criticism of Byron Sonne. You see, Sonne had his CISSP suspended for his actions leading up to the G20 in which he made threats against the police. Sonne was also busted cooking explosives in his house that was bought and paid for by his wealthy wife’s family. That would-be anarcho-terrorist is loved by Arlen. Arlen has donated cash to Sonne’s defense fund. But a CISSP in good standing like me who criticizes Sonne’s actions must be silenced.
He is threatening lawsuits and attempting to have my own CISSP certification suspended simply because of my speech.
I was debating the cost of getting a complaint notarized – no longer debating. I was debating the cost of a lawsuit – no longer debating.

@CanSec One group failing to police their own characterizes the entire group.
— James Arlen (@myrcurial) March 9, 2012
@CanSec dm me an email address and I’ll send you a copy of the complaint.
— James Arlen (@myrcurial) March 9, 2012
Arlen even attempted to contact a former employer to complain about my free speech in an effort to silence my criticism of Sonne:
Anyone at Netwitness available for a quick consultation on an issue?
— James Arlen (@myrcurial) March 9, 2012
Pretty cowardly.
And what is ironic is that Arlen was a vocal critic of SOPA, which would have had the effect of creating censorship on the Internet.
You see, as a typical liberal, Arlen is a big believer in free speech so long as it supports liberal group-think. Any opposition or deviation is quickly labeled as “hate speech.”
@BelchSpeak The shame is yours alone for your bullying behaviour and unsupportable bigotry and hate.
— James Arlen (@myrcurial) March 9, 2012
Not that Arlen could point to a single thing I’ve said that is bigoted or hateful. Oh, yeah, I called him fat, which he is. He continues to threaten a libel lolsuit, but all I have to do is point to his ginormous gut as exhibit A.
